@bloodygaikotsu we still have two more days of licensing announcements to look forward to. Maybe they will run out of Isekai series to announce so they actually have to announce something else(they won't but we can hope)

I'm actually glad to see the "Reincarnated as a Sword" light novel got picked up by someone. The manga has been really good so hopefully the LN will be just as good if not better. Would have loved for JNC to have picked up this title but unfortunately it didn't happen.

Well, unlike the JNC's and YP's recent gigs, this time I actually have a feeling that at least one thematically different novel should be announced. SS usually try to somewhat balance out their announcements and we do have two more days.

@dtta The announcements themselves should say, and I believe they are doing digital-first, yes.

Reincarnated as a Sword is digital-first; Train Your Devil and Our Wonderful Days are print and digital but no early release for the digital; and the music one doesn't mention digital like the others do, so it's presumably print-only.

There's a lot more, so probably best to try think of the Obra Dinn / Frenchman Will Be Pleased hint (or stocks hint) and how that would fit.

Sam mentioned in another Curiouscat answer that Cooking with Wild Game was the “inner Frenchman” hint (apparently referring to a French Discord member) so the remaining unannounced hint is the stocks one. (I’m still thinking it’s The Hero’s Success is Now, even though we did already get a reverse isekai with Japan Elf.)

The 12-volume license is probably for a later batch (unless it’s the 5th unconfirmed one in this batch). Also, until that one is announced, we probably shouldn’t expect anything with 13+ volumes...
